Saint Rock Haiti Foundation

The Saint Rock Haiti Foundation is a Milton-based nonprofit that works alongside residents of Saint Rock and nearby rural communities in Haiti’s Ouest region to improve health, education and economic opportunity. Its health center there provides primary care, and the foundation helps children and young adults access educational opportunities. It also builds community cisterns for clean water and supports nutrition through a community garden and a cooperative chicken coop.

The foundation describes its approach as listening first and working hand in hand with local partners toward locally led, sustainable change. It collaborates with the Haitian government and other non-governmental organizations on the shared goal of greater self-sufficiency. Its clinic and scholarship program also create sustainable local jobs, its staff in Haiti carry the work forward on the ground, and the foundation is now expanding its facilities and capacity.
